Cerebrally if not affectively
Ich bin gay lesbian bi trans
queer in case it’s not obvious..
un-straight by any measurement
my life-of-minding across borders
and frontiers yet unknown—
stalwart pioneering brave new
whirls, innovating if not rigor
at least some tears of a clown
You can characterize me in
your own terms, my efforts
to crack an academic citadel,
call out groves of whimsy,
presume to provoke free play
not as alternative to our
disciplinary rigor-osity but
mere supplement: pedagogies
for the repressed if not
depressed: noetic gymnastics
for
collapsed, conflated, or
confused with practical
life and the resume-
polishing professional
wisdom of the bawdy
politic..
